Cajsa and I had a spectacle of a party to celebrate just the fun that is our life and what perfect timing that Neferia Abel released her summer collection for L’Abel? I ran straight over and picked up goodness and just knew that this was exactly what I wanted to wear for the party. Continue reading

…we’re this sexy with our clothes on too.
That’s right, I’m short. I don’t know when this happened. I used to be the damn tallest avatar on the grid I swear, people went on and on about how freaking TALL I was. Then I bring over an elf and………I’m short. What the fuck? I think when I got a revised version of my shape I got shorter or something. Continue reading

I know a place where I can go when I’m alone
into your arms, into your arms I can go
I know a place that’s safe and warm from the crowd
into your arms, into your arms I can go
and if I should fall
I know I won’t be alone
be alone anymore Continue reading

And You Say Hello
And I Can Hardly Speak

And Anyone Can Tell
You Think You Know Me Well
Well….You Don’t Know Me……. Continue reading

When I think of the east end lights, muggy nights
the curtains drawn in the little room downstairs
Prima Donna lord you really shoulda been there
Sitting like a princess perched in her electric chair
And It’s One More Beer and I don’t hear you ANYMORE
We’ve all gone crazy lately
My friends have been rolling ’round the basement floor
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You’re a Butterfly
And Butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye
I’m strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn out-played by a dominating queen
I’m four o-clock in the morning dammit
listen to me good……..
I’m a butterfly. …….

What does one wear with the fanciest shoes one owns?
Well, I wore jeans. Continue reading
Casa del Shai Tye-Die Bikini
When two people have a personality conflict that seems intractable, we say, “Like oil and water, they don’t mix.” That expression in one form or another is so old we don’t know its origins. However, its essential truth has become painfully obvious over the last two months since the Gulf spill began. While one attempt after another fails, scientists and DIY inventors have made a cottage industry of uploading ideas to youtube to help the clean up. From clever to whimsical to crazy, those ideas are profoundly human. People are eager to do something because that’s what humans do. For good or ill, it’s part of what makes us human.
Casa del Shai Capricciosa Dress
Not all of us can, or should, take a boat out on the Gulf and try to rescue birds and sea turtles. Still we want to do something. One thing we can do is help support cleanup efforts by established conservationist organizations with experience in ecological restoration. Sadly, it’s been more difficult than usual to get support for those efforts because this disaster is man-made and has a villain who is expected to pay for the clean-up – assuming they don’t decide to file for bankruptcy reorganization. The idea that BP will pay for it all ignores that these groups are not waiting around for BP’s permission to begin wildlife rescue. They are already doing the work.
I know Gidge blogged this lovely combination for Etheria just the other day, but I did choose a different color – going for Copper all the way. The dress is Fae from Lark and the coordinating jewelry from Dark Mouse is also called Fae.
The fun thing is that Faery Sola who knows a thing or two about fae, just sent me some new poses from her Studio Sidhe and I just had to shoot it all together. By the way, if you’re like me and don’t know much about faery realms beyond what’s in the Harry Dresden books, I asked how to pronounce Sidhe and will let you all now that it’s pronounced like she which strikes me as really cool for some reason.

The Collaboration between Lark and Dark Mouse brings us FAE in gown and jewelry – a gorgeous set that truly screams for me to put on some wings.
And did you know I used to be a Fairy? I did!
But none of my wings matched.
And I’m lazy.
So I didn’t go wing shopping.
The gown and jewelry come in multiple tones each complimenting the other – I chose to wear gold because I was having a very blonde day and my blonde girl likes gold.
These two pieces are offered at the Etheria event which is still going on until the 20th . Continue reading
Sometimes the fabric reaches off the shelf and takes control of your hand, purchasing itself because it knows that you want it. You are trying to be sensible and tell yourself you have spent enough, but the fabric knows better. It’s beautiful, it has that lovely two-tone subtlety that speaks to you and it knows you love it. That happened to me when I saw this Laish dress from Lelutka.
And of course, one I had the dress, I needed a jacket that would look good with it, so I also bought the Biyaca Bolero. It took just a bit of editing to make it work perfectly and not intersect with the dress prims.
